I am in love with this bra. I've always had a larger cup and smaller band size which is difficult if not impossible to find in stores. I recently stopped breastfeeding and I really needed a bra that would have great support. This is the first bra I have worn in years that fit perfectly and was supportive. So happy I bought this!

I am petite and wear a 32 DD in this bra. Straps don't slip and it is ultra comfortable. I never notice anything uncomfortable during the day.The only bra where after all day I don't have the urge to come home and immediately take it off. I purchased 5 of these initially, probably 6 months ago, and they are still going strong. Very durable. Nice shape.

I've been looking for a different brand of bra for sometime to replace a brand that was no longer working as well for me. The Awareness bra was recommended to me by one of the customer service staff at Bare Necessities and it's a real winner. It fits well, is comfortable, the straps stay up (my chief complaint with my old one) and does what a bra is supposed to do. I also like the color selection.

This bra is so comfortable and amazing. I love the shape, and the fit is spot on. Often, 3 part bras which are the most supportive for larger cup sizes do a bit of the bullet-boob thing, and I've gotten used to dressing around this because the support is still better than anything I've found. This bra, however, gives a fabulous rounded out shape.
I simply love it.

Of course nothing but the best from Wacoal! I've always loved their products so I was not nervous at all to order this and I'm so glad I did! Great fit, great comfort and holds everything in place which if you've had a child you know that it can be hard to get that in a bra. The elastic along the top of the cup to make sure everything stays where it should is genius!

I'm happy that I purchased this bra. It's very stylish and supportive for running. My one complaint would be that the cups are very thin so if you're wearing the bra with a tight top you will get nipple show through. As for sizing, I'd say that the cups are true to size but the band is on the tight side. I usually am in between a 32 and 34 and in this bra I wear the 34 band on the loosest hook.

The Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer bra is the ONLY bra I wear as a size 40G woman. It is comfortable, but very supportive while minimizing at the same time. The straps are comfortable as well and stay in place. I hope they never stop making this bra!

Bought this for my MIL who has been wearing the wrong bra size all her life, she loves it. Says it's very comfortable. My measurement of her is 36DD or 36E, but I suspect she is actually 36 C or D. With that said, this probably fits on the small side. We ordered 4 bras all together and this one of the two that was perfect, there was two that was too large.

Great bra! I really love that it's not cut high. Great for lower cut summer tops!

Very pleased with my purchase. Fits great, looks great. I wear it under my lower cut summer tops and dresses. I always buy Wacoal bras for their fit and the fact they fit beautifully and are high quality!

It's hard to find a full cup bra that doesn't have 12 hooks in the back and doesn't look matronly. I think this bra is great. It's supportive, doesn't smash the girls, and it doesn't leave dents in my shoulders or a bulge on my back. I wear a 34DD or a 36DD depending on the bra, and the 36DD was a good choice for this bra. It's unlined, so if you get nipply a lot you may want another bra. I don't have that problem, so this bra was exactly what I hoped it would be. It's lace, so just know that you can't wear it under everything you own (thin material may show the lacy-ness). The periwinkle color is gorgeous.

I really like this bra! It is very supportive and fits well. I like that the straps are thin enough to wear with tank tops, but not too thin that they dig into shoulders. The only complaint I have about this bra is that the sides of the straps (where the strap meets the cup) is stiff and scratchy. I'm hoping this goes away with some wear. It is also very pretty. I have it in black and plan on ordering the nude one.

I bought this Bra sight unseen and I am amazed with the fit. I bought it in the size I have been wearing since pregnant. Fortunately I got it 30% off if I knew how well it would fit I would bought more. I highly recommend if you are large busted!

For bustier girls that HATE moulded cups, this is the perfect bra. PERFECT!!! Just wish they did multiple color ways, a strapless version, a racerback version, and a multi-way bra.... all from these wonderful unmoulded cups. NEVER EVER DISCONTINUE THIS BRA PLEASE!!! I am HOOKED for LIFE!!!!!

I saw this bra and fell in love with it a few months ago and decided to 'sleep on it.' Am very happy I finally bought it. Got the pink w/ beige pinstripes and it's just really classy-looking. It's not your regular-looking lacy thing. Then I put it on... heaven! It fit like a dream. Then... I wore it for a while and noticed the straps were slipping. Boo Hoo! The adjustment to tighten the straps slowly loosened up during the day. However, for this bra, it's not a deal breaker. I like it so much that I'll work and fix the straps.

I've read a lot of mixed reviews for this bra which is what lead me to write a review of my own. I think this bra is fantastic for those of us whose breasts are more "deflated" at the top, but much fuller at the bottom. I have very large breasts (G-cup), but there is almost no volume at the top, which makes it quite difficult to find a correctly-fitting, much less flattering, bra. This one truly fits the bill because it is very supportive without leaving huge gaps at the top of the cup. I can see how it might cause pointy boob issues for those of you who are blessed with perkiness, but for those of us who aren't, this bra is very helpful. It's also comfortable, there's very little spillage in the back (I wear a small band size so there's always bound to be a little that comes over the top), it's durable (I've been rotating three of these bras for two years), and it looks good under both casual and work clothes. I would agree with the reviewers that mention the lace at the bottom of the cup being slightly uncomfortable and perhaps too much for sensitive skin. It's not too much for me, and it has actually permanently folded upward so I don't even notice it any more, but I could see how it might be an irritant to some. Overall, I would give this bra more than five stars if I could because I've never found one to fit me without gaping before and I plan on buying many more before I run the risk of them possibly changing the style one day!

This bra fits very well and is very comfortable. I am a 32 did/e and it doesn't look like I am wearing my grandmothers underway. I am going to buy this in other colors and expect it to be a regular in my wardrobe.

That's right, I've ordered and enjoyed six of these Anita bras. The same style, but different colors. Mostly I've stayed with the black. I have trouble telling my old bras from my new ones because they hold up so well to both hand and machine washing (I place them in a laundry bag for machine washing). You'll feel great when you're wearing it and you'll look great in your clothes. I've worn them for years. I haven't found a better place for price, quality and good customer service than Bare Necessities. No, I'm not a paid spokesperson, just a very satisfied customer!

Comfortable. Pretty. Lace is soft. Fits true to size including the cup. Comes in my hard-to-find size of 32G. Supports very well; no sagging or bouncing. Straps are comfortable. The closure is a lovely double hook/eye, instead of the usual industrial 3- or 4-hook closure. Minimizes a smidge little less than a full size. However, it's enough to make one feel and appear "normal," not like she's carrying giant sacks of sand. I'll be ordering more.

Natori's plunge bra is very flattering and the cups are comfy as well as providing good support with some style. So many bras for smaller busts are heavy on the padding, the push ups and the under wire. Natori uses none of this with this bra, and the result is a natural looking shape that is comfortable and also has some sexiness to it.

This bra fits exactly like the Fantasie Samantha that is being discontinued. It is a little higher cut in the center and sides, and is made with a softer fabric. It still gives the nice shape and support I like, and is comfortable to wear. I am glad for a bra to replace the Samantha, but I am very short and narrow shouldered, so I do miss the lower cut.

This bra is the only convertible/strapless bra that I have found that fits me. I have a slightly inverted chest so it's really hard for me to find bras that fit properly and have the center gore sit flat on my chest. This comes really close!
The Fantasie 4510 used to be my go to bra but it runs large in the cup and I tend to wear a 28E or 30DD now after losing some weight. With 30DD being the only option in that style, they no longer have a size that fits me since the cups run so big. I was worried that there would be a similar issue with this bra but not so! The band is tighter, probably because it's a strapless and they want to make sure it doesn't fall down, but the cups do not run so big so it actually fits me.
The only downside for me is that the band is pretty snug and if I try to wear this all day it does start to feel too tight and gets painful. I am hoping that over time, the band will stretch out a bit and be more forgiving.
Otherwise, this is a great bra. I wear it under my racerback tanks and thin strapped dresses. I like that it's convertible! And it does not show through shirts!

i'm going to start by saying 2 things:
1. i never write reviews unless i'm really insanely happy with the product.
2. i was petrified to buy this.
i have litterally not had a bra that fit right since iv grew out of my first one which is a while because my boobs showed up as A-cups when i was 11 and were D-cups and still growing when i was 13. for the last year i kept going to bra stores to get measured and they all said i was triple-D and none of them fit right. so when i came to this website (which i found by mistake) i searched for there measuring system (according to which i am now a 38-FF) and took the risk of buying this bra in that unusually large size.
so now that you know why i was scared i should tell you that no bra in ten years has ever fit me so well
no bra in ten years has ever not dug into my shoulders or rib cage
and no bra in ten years supported me so well without smashing my boobs against my rib cage.
watch the fitting video and buy this bra

This is one of the few bras I can wear that has a wire. I must be short under the arms. The wire sticking up under the arms is shorter than a lot of bras. This bra wears like iron. It is unlined so if you have nip problems you may not like it. The cup is heavy enough to cover a little nipping. I am a 36DD and works wonderful for me. The back closer is only two hooks instead of the industrial models like grandma wore. If you have back fat...well it will show. I can get a lot of years out of one of these bras. Great value.

Cup size/shape fits great, very natural. I was looking for a bra I felt comfortable wearing now that I am back to work in a professional setting. This works great, looks good under clothes but easy to pump/nurse while wearing it!

I was introduced to this bra by my cousin. I now have 4 in different colours. The support is good at the sides and underneath the breast. The straps are supportive and do not dig into the shoulder. The bra fits comfortably and is not restrictive. I will buy again.

This is my second time purchasing this bra and I love it. Fits great and great support. (Keeps me perky : ) I'm very busty so support is crucial. My only complaint is the underwire stabbed out under my arm which honestly happens often to me regardless of the bra. I would definitely buy again.

I'm a bigger busted girl, 32J, so good strapless bras are really tough to come by. I was hesitant to buy one at all, to be honest. This one is actually really great though. I can wear it for several hours and not have to yank it back in to place, it stays put where it should be. The fit is true to size and it doesn't add any extra cup sizes when I don't need them. My only complaint is that after a few hours my ribs do tend to feel a little sore, but it's a minor inconvenience I'm willing to have for a bra that actually does it's job.

This is my favorite bra. It fits perfectly, its comfortable enough sleep in. It provides great coverage and shape, but because it so thin you can always see my nipples through any shirt I wear. However, that might be a problem specific to me. I should try pairing it with a cami or something, maybe that will fix the problem. Now whenever I wear one I just make sure it's a layering day.

I own several of these and this is by far my favorite bra. It's supportive, gives beautiful shape, is comfortable and LASTS! It holds up so well. I keep them around in different sizes for weight fluctuation and in all of the sizes it is still my favorite bra. Love, love love.

good quality bra. however, it loses its support after approximately 2 months of wear even with having it in rotation with my other bras (of the exact same brand and style, just different colors) and worn every 4 days, more or less. therefore, i'm constantly readjusting the straps, and feel like they've already exceeded their life span. good everyday bra though.

I had a couple of these bras prior to ordering these again. They fit PERFECTLY and comfortably. I can wear it all day with no discomfort, hard to find a bra that is this comfortable. NOTHING sticks into you, nothing rolls, no cleavage sticking out.
I over 70 and would recommend this bra to large busted women of all ages.
It is beautiful, sexy, supportive and comfortable enough to wear all day/evening long.
The ONLY thing I could complain about, if I had to find something, is that the straps are so far apart, they do show with some sleeveless tops, but they are so decorative, even I do not feel uncomfortable with it.

I've been looking for a quality racerback bra. Finally found it- yeah! It's not as comfortable as the balconette Fantasie, but works great for a convertible bra. Good quality as I would expect from Fantasie. Like the 2-tone detail in the front, it adds something.

This is both the first unlined and racerback bra I've tried (I usually tend to wear t-shirt bras and pushups). The cup fits well with the right amount of coverage, and the clasp is secure and easy to use. The Y-back is great for all those summer tanks that can't be worn with a regular bra strap style.
This bra is also really comfortable. I'm surprised the mesh fabric isn't itchy AT ALL. I'm still getting used to the contrast of the structured underwire with the unmolded mesh fabric cup. I feel equally as supported in this bra but more "free" in the mesh which is a super lightweight and breathable material that is perfect for summer!

As I stated in my title, the bra is very supportive but for me it does not really minimize. It does provide a nice shape but not a smaller one... I would have preferred a fully adjustable strap. I have it pulled up to the lace/doily thing - minimal slippage.

This is the perfect bra for ppl with larger breasts. I wear a 30F and it is perfect for me. It magically makes your breasts look round, perfect, and perky, regardless of how they look without a bra. I would say that it minimizes as well.
It is not padded, but the fabric is sturdy - not thin. The coverage is good too -- not too much, not too little. Also, it is sexy enough to be worn as lingerie, but is also smooth under tight-fighting T-shirts.
This is my go-to bra - the one I own many copies of.
